The Dark Knight Review

The Dark Knight is a 243 ways Microgaming online pokie with four progressive jackpots, stacked wild symbols and free spins. The highest jackpot starts at $1,000,000 and you can win the jackpot for as little as 30 cents per spin.

It is based on the 2008 movie that featured Christian Bale and Health Ledger in his Academy Award winning performance as the Joker. Scenes from the film are displayed on the symbols and during big wins.

Bet Levels

The game comes in two credit levels (1c and 2c) and you can choose to bet up to 10 credits per way. The minimum bet to get in on the action is 30c and the maximum you can play is $6 per spin.

Progressive Jackpot

The progressive jackpot on The Dark Knight is the same as the popular Mega Moolah jackpot. There are four levels with the Mega starting at $1,000,000 and the Major, Minor and Mini starting at $10,000, $100 and $10 respectively.

At any time during regular play you can win the jackpot bonus which takes you to a wheel based feature where you can pick either Batman or the Joker. The wheel then spins and you win one of the four jackpots.

You can win all of the jackpots with any bet so if you're playing 30c you can win $1,000,000 or more. In fact several of the Mega jackpot winners in the past have been betting the minimum per spin.

Stacked Wild Symbols

The Batman logo is wild for all symbols except the scattered Walls and appears stacked on all reels. Getting five on a single way pays 400 credits (4,000 at max) and while this is a relatively small jackpot you can get a whole screen of wilds and the jackpot on all 243 ways in a single spin.

At max bet this jackpot comes in at 972,000 credits and this can be multiplied by up to X5 if the Joker appears and awards the multiplier feature.

Batman & Joker Features

During regular play Batman or the Joker can appear and award one of several different features. These include;

Wild Free Spin : A wild reels is held for one spin

Wild Reels : Batman can add up to 3 wild reels

Wild Shoot : Batman can turn up to 15 symbols wild

Multiplier : Joker can multiply wins by up to X5

Instant Prize : Batman or Joker can award up to 1,500 credits.

Free Spins

Get three or more of the scattered Wall symbols and you win 15 free spins with a starting multiplier of X2. The feature cannot be re-triggered but during the free spins you can win extra free games and higher multipliers.

At the highest multiplier of X5 you can win up to 4,000,000 credits with the full screen of wild Batman logos which comes in at either $40,000 or $80,000 at max depending on credit size.
